Tulamben
Northeast coast of Bali
To the east of the beach is Tulamben Wall. The wall drops off to 60 metres, has large barrel sponges, and is characterised by three main spurs and an overhang at 18 metres.
Here you can see small families of Bumphead Parrotfish, growing close to two metres! More commonly you'll see Fairy Basslets, Pufferfish, Hawkfish and Damselfish.
The shallow black ash sand here plays host to Ornate Ghost Pipefish and even Cometfish.
Tulamben house reef, located in front of the beach resorts, is an ideal student learning ground. With shallow areas at 5m and a maximum depth of 25m, this reef hosts many of the common fish, such as wrasses, snappers, parrotfish, butterflyfish, as well as more unusual Scorpionfish and Moray Eels.
